Museum, has prepared the first part of a valuable Bibliography 
of Australian ‘Botany, in which he has made the very scattered 
literature of this subject available for ready reference. He read

for the Advancement of Science “On the exudations from Aus- 
tralian species of Pittosporum.” He also read the following papers: 
“On Panax gum,” before the Linnean Society of N.S. Wales ; 
and “Some of the pale Hardwoods of New South Wales,” before 
the Sydney Architectural Association. He prepared a report “On 
the Vegetable Exudations collected by the Elder Exploring Expedi-

shown that the indurated sap of the Dogwood (Myoporum platy- 
carpum ) is identical with the manna of commerce.
